The young midfielder joins the Seasiders looking to gain valuable experience and make his mark at the Towbar Express Stadium over a busy October schedule.

Barnes arrives from Harrogate Town, who announced in June that he had signed a new contract with the club, underlining their commitment to his continued development.

His arrival adds another option to the Whitby Town squad, with the club looking forward to seeing what he can bring during his time on the North Yorkshire coast.

Everyone at Whitby Town would like to welcome Lucas to the club and wishes him every success during his loan spell.
